Mrs. Virgil (Emily) Pollifax of New Brunswick, New Jersey, was a widow
with grown, married children. She was tired of attending her Garden Club
meetings. She wanted to do something good for her country. So,
naturally, she became a CIA agent.
She takes on a "job" in Mexico City. The assignment doesn't sound
dangerous at first, but then, as often happens, something goes wrong.
Now our dear Mrs. Pollifax finds herself embroiled in quite a hot Cold
War--and her country's enemies find themselves entangled with one
unbelievably feisty lady.
"Mrs. Pollifax gives Agatha Christie's Miss Marple a rival to reckon
with."--Toronto Star
